Former Houston Texans safety Ed Reed is out a substantial amount of dough according to Houston police, who are investigating the theft of $50,000 from his vehicle on Wednesday.

Reed, who was released by the Texans in November and quickly signed by the New York Jets, was inside a Houston bank when the incident occurred. Reed was to help the Jets during a late-season playoff push.

A window was smashed on his gray 2006 Audi and a bag containing the cash, in $100 bills, was stolen while Reed was inside a Bank of America location in the 12000 block of Westheimer, according to the police report. He had just left a bank down the street, leading police to believe Reed was followed.

As of now there is no indication of why Reed was in Houston, or retrieving large amounts of cash from the bank.
